Anaconda, MT
We really enjoyed the small town of Anaconda, MT. The RV park was nestled at the foot of a mountain and right on Warm Springs Creek. Back home, we'd had our bicycles in the garage (collecting dust) for the last 25 years so we finally took them in for new tires and a little oil. We found Sven's Bicycle shop downtown and it felt like we were visiting Mayberry! What a treat. The trails followed along the creek which was a wonderful place for biking and walking Harley. On Friday I was able to play a round of golf at the Old Works Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus design, built using federal EPA Superfund money. It was built on the original site of the Anaconda copper smelter and they used left over slag that had been tumbled to remove the sharp edges in the sand traps. Really beautiful and tough course. Saturday I went fly fishing on the South Fork of the Clark River with one of my camping neighbors, I didn't catch anything but a good time, but Bill did. I spent most of my time tying & losing fly's in the brush along the bank. Bill gave me two pan sized Brown Trout he caught though. I have them in my freezer waiting for a good time to fry them up. I'll be eating them lane though, Debbie doesn't care for trout. We weighed anchor Monday, heading to Hungry Horse, MT.
